title: Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of vanA, vanB, vanC-1, and vanC-2/3 Genes in Enterococci.
abstract: Resistance to the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin in enterococci, is phenotypically and genotypically heterogeneous. Three glycopeptide resistance phenotypes, VanA, VanB, and VanC, account for most glycopeptide resistance in enterococci; they can be distinguished on the basis of the level and inducibility of resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin.
